What is the network throughput on the Brocade Vyatta vRouter?

Since the Brocade Vyatta vRouter is a network appliance deployed on a Cloud Server, the network throughput is dictated by the size of the Cloud Server. Please refer to the table here for the network throughput for different flavors of Cloud Servers.

What is the minimum amount of RAM needed to run a Vyatta?

The minimum RAM size needed to run a vRouter is 1 GB.

Can you assign more than one IP address to the Vyatta's public interface?

Can Vyatta be used along with RackConnect?

Is Vyatta available for Managed Operations service level accounts?

No. The vRouter is not available for the Managed Operations service level at this time.

Can the Vyatta be configured in a redundant mode (active/backup Highly available configuration)?

The Vyatta appliance supports VRRP for High-availability. However, Rackspace cannot support High Availability of Vyatta over the Public Net interface because "Shared IP address" is not available over PublicNet at this time. You can, however, setup Vyatta to be Highly Available on the Cloud Networks interface since Shared IP addresses are supported on Cloud Networks.

Can I add or remove interfaces from a live Vyatta device ?

No. Do not add/disconnect networks . This will cause serious issues with networking on the Vyatta and the only recourse will be to rebuild the Vyatta.

I cannot log into the Vyatta using username 'root' and the password that was set when the Vyatta was created. What is wrong?
